Spinning around the 🌞!!

A lot of us spin through life...busy, busy, busy. Jobs, kids, parents, church, social activities, homes, projects, commitments, etc etc, etc.
Are we just spinning  around? Out of control?
I was talking with a friend the other day and as we were talking  over our insane schedules...I asked her.."Do you feel like you are just going to spin right out of orbit?"
To which she responded.."It's all good! Just spinning around the sun!"
I immediately responded.."OH I feel a Blog coming on!"

We are all so busy juggling amazingly insane schedules, hoping we dont miss something important ...like picking up a child or an important event...we are all spinning like mad little tops.  BUT are we spinning around the right thing? Are we spinning around the Son!?
The sun's gravitational pull keeps all the spinning planets from careening off into space on a random trajectory.
AS it is with us....if in our busyness we make sure the center of all we do, of all our spinning, is Jesus Christ the Son then we can maintain our path.  But loose sight of our Son, our Center, and we may go careening off on a course that will eventually lead to destruction.
We have to make sure the spinning isn't just busyness....that it Christ driven...Son Centered.

The Centrality of Christ

             He is the image of the invisible God,

the firstborn over all creation.

For everything was created by Him,

in heaven and on earth,
the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities—
all things have been created through Him and for Him.

He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together. 

He is also the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead,
so that He might come to have
first place in everything.

For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,

and through Him to reconcile everything to Himself
by making peace through the blood of His cross—whether things on earth or things in heaven. Colossians 1:15-20

Because, even if our lives are spinning right now,  IF we are spinning around the SON then our focus is in the right place.
Our daily center needs to be Christ.
The "gravity" of our SON holds us in place.....so we don't go spinning out of control!

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 All things were created through Him,
and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.
4 Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men.
5 That light shines in the darkness,
yet the darkness did not overcome it. John 1:1-5
It ALL starts with Christ!
So start each day spending some time with the Son.  Through out your day make sure you take little moments (or big moments) to praise Him, thank Him, ask Him....it helps you keep "centered".  I know for me listening to praise/gospel music sometime during the day helps me to remember who my Center is.  There is every genre out there ...and some very good music!
Just did a new one at church on Sunday

Tell me THAT doesn't get you smiling!

Here is an old Hymn redone by Chris Tomlin that sums it all up

Lord I Need You

My prayer is that in all your spinning today you find your Center!     Amen!
